Just for your information, we met a man who was born and raised in Ireland, and he said that he never heard of corned beef and cabbage until he came to the US. Very intersting.
This recipe was excellent, very different than how I have ever prepared it in the past. I give it five stars because the flavor was wonderful. The only problem I had, was that my corned beef was considerable smaller than called for in the recipe, so it was just a bit dry.

This recipe is awesome. The meat was so tender and delicious! The orange gave it a very subtle twist. I put chopped potatoes in the last hour and they were great. The cabbage with the apple was good too!

I will never boil corned beef again. I made exactly as directed, except for using the roasting bag instead of foil. Cooking the cabbage with apple makes a nice flavor, and it's even better if you put a little juice from the meat on it.

This was delicious. I did my 2 1/2 pound roast in an oven bag for 2 1/2 hours, and used apple juice instead of water and it turned out great. It did have a salty kick to it, but it wasn't over powering. We liked having the sauce from the brisket to serve with the cabbage also. I was worried about running out of water with the cabbage and apple, but didn't need to be, but we weren't huge fans of the mushy apple. I think it toned down the cabbage during cooking but should be left in the pot rather than served.

I TOO HAVE been making corned beef the EXACT SAME WAY for years and I can even tell you WHERE the Recipe came from ..."THE BROOKLYN COOKBOOK" by Lynn Stallworth. It is a compilation of Jewish American recipes.. I was looking for a new recipe and saw the pic of the corned beef w/ oranges and just about fell out of my chair.....same layout of meat / vegies...foil and even the same pan!!!!!!

Reviewer:

use everyones advice and used a cooking bag. Great recipe, the oranges gave it a nice flavor. Since cooking it in the oven gives the meat a more salty favor than my health can handle, I will probably try in it a crock pot for a while, then finish in the oven like I used to do. But I will use the oranges in the oven again.

I fixed this recipe for a St. Patrick's Day party at my church last year and everyone loved it. The best one I've ever tried. The meat was flavorful and tender and sliced up beautifully. The apple with the cabbage is wonderful.
